OH I also forgot i have lots of NBC equipment as well. The Dieffenbunker also has items of interest.

There is a good book on the Canadian Manufacture of of Chemical and Biological warfare in WW2. I beleive it is called Canada Secret War. It was a very good read and eye opening.

Gross Illes in QC as well as Suffield were a result of this experimentation. Which Canada was the lead in.

We were able to come up eventually with the antidote to the German Gas.

Thank goodness they did not have it as they could have wiped out the allies numerous times prior to us finding the antidote. Even then we did not make enough of it to get to the field.

Text from the excellent book "Corvette Navy" the haunting story of men plucked in good health and spirit from a sinking ship by the escort Minas, in a matter of minutes they lay dead. Their Merchant ship had been carrying containers of poison gas for storage in the UK for retaliatory use in the event of a Nazi gas attack The torpedoing had released some of this fearful gas,
they were all doomed. add this to the Bari Italy incident and we can conclude
that both sides knew there was enough stockpiles of gas to kill everyone.

part of a chemical officer job was to check captured filters for changes, British civilian filters kept being added to, till they would not fit custom made carriers.

The USN did gas drills on their ships.
